Your plastic graphing skills are ridiculous!

Future.

I'm not 100% sure, the corner is the only place I've really seen anyone put a pot. Might have to trim down the board a little to get it to fit. Justin would be the best to answer this question.

Justinthursday has some mini pots on his website that he sells. Should be able to fit that micro pot he's got up there.

on another note, can anybody tell if the VT-3 has an external in for the vocoder? I watched the video but I can't tell if it's just an autotune machine or actually a vocoder

From what I saw on this video here it looks like an autotune machine for the most part. Only inputs are mic, pedal and usb.

Personally, I don't care if it's true analog or not. It's got the sounds I like and it's fairly easy to use from the looks of it (I'll have to demo it before I make a final decision on that). Even though most would argue with me that there's no point in getting it unless it is true analog since you can simulate it with a good VST. Just my preference since I really lose all momentum when working with VSTs and I don't get the feel for the sounds as well without a knob or slider. Not to mention, I've wanted a 808 or 909 for about 10 years now but couldn't shell out the serious cash people were asking for them. On the other Aria items, like the VT-3, I've been wanting a good vocoder that wasn't attached to a keyboard and had the styles I was looking for. So that's another plus in my book. I'm a little sketchy on the TB-3 however, that touch screen seems a bit....fumbley? Nice acid sounds though and not bad on the price range. Could do without the touch screen and shave a bit more off the price though and it would be a total win for me.

I looked at the tutorial from handheldlegends website. I have a few if not obvious suggestions. Make sure that the plastics around the screen are firmly snapped back in (duh right). If you did the wires the same as they did I'd also say that you should cut them down enough to not have to tuck them through the board. You don't need them that long and they could possibly be pushing against something and causing your issues. On the wires possibly causing pressure you may need to trim the cuts you made on the plastics a bit more (without seeing how yours look I'm just going down a list of possibilities). There were also some little foam pieces behind the screen that needed to be removed. Umm.....that covers most of the things.....anyone else?

I dunno but don't forget reggae for the Rasta man.

I dont know if I can afford a 909+303 pseudo setup for 800 bucks.

Does it cost more where you are? Sweetwater.com is going to have the TR-8 for $499.

Edit: Never mind my comment, didn't make the connection you were talking about both the TR-8 and 3 together.

That phat bass kick...... *drool*

Beware teh chips.

The chips just give it more style.

Does it matter that the pedal uses 9V DC and the 9V in the C64 is AC?

Jeri Ellsworth is an awesome self taught engineer. There were a few videos around of her at the maker fair with this guitar.

I met a guy in my town that collects every video game console and computer imaginable. He traded me this working C64 and floppy drive for a spare backlit/prosounded DMG I had. He didn't have any use for the C64 because he didn't have the cables for it...and I do. I should have taken a picture of his closet, it was amazing. He's interested in making chip too so maybe we'll have a new face posting on the forums soon.


Christ, and here I am just trying to find a PSU for my C64 that isn't $100+ or DOA. I can't even find a C64 here in San Diego that someone isn't trying to sell for "Collectors Value" pricing. (Even though katsumbhong offered me a newer one for a fair price but wasn't the model I was looking for.) If you find someone else that has a working spare C64 and willing to take a trade on it hit me up please! I've got more then enough DMGs and backlit Pockets laying around.

BTW, can you use a C64 with the Mssiah cartridge as a MIDI instrument in a DAW (say FL Studio)? From what I remember, you can, but you obviously have to program the sounds on the C64.

Yes you can, it has a single MIDI input on top of the cart. If I remember correctly it also has a sequencer built into the program. Tweaking the sounds should be easy and I know you can use the C64 mouse to better navigate the settings. At least that's what I was told by someone I was trying to buy it from off eBay.
